Combat is by far the most commonly trained skill throughout all of Runescape. In fact, a high combat level is almost a must to have. Very rarely do players intentionally choose to avoid combat, but even these players keep separate accounts where they participate in combat. Besides being a useful and practical skill to level

Okk is a 4/4 Goblin for one colorless mana and one red mana. Wait… What?! Of course, such ridiculously good stats for two mana must come with several drawbacks and sure enough, Okk comes with two massive drawbacks. The first drawback is that you can only attack with Okk if another creature with a higher

“Reckless Spite” is a black instant spell originally printed as an uncommon for the Magic the Gathering expansion set known as “Tempest.” It would be reprinted as an uncommon for the Magic the Gathering expansion set known as “Invasion.” So far, Reckless Spite is a pretty good card to have if you are planning to

Jokulhlaup is an Icelandic term that has been incorporated into the English language. It means a glacial outburst flood. This, of course, fits perfectly with the Ice Age theme of the Magic the Gathering card called Jokulhaups. This rare sorcery costs a massive four colorless mana and two red mana but has the devastating effect

Sometimes a card’s design can foretell the kind of mechanics that will appear in the future. For example, Sealed Fate from Mirage has its own minor theme called fateseal in a few cards much later on. In the case of Errantry, it may have been a kind of ancestor to the exalted mechanic if only

Blinking Spirit is a rare creature from Ice Age that has seen reprint in Fifth Edition as well as the special Battle Royale set. Interestingly enough, it has also made a more recent return in Ninth Edition. This 2/2 Spirit has a casting cost of three colorless mana and one white mana. The lackluster statistics

“Reap” is a green instant spell printed as a rare for the Magic the Gathering expansion set known as “Tempest.” So far, the card has gotten low scores on Magic the Gathering’s Gatherer website. Reap seems to be a good sideboard against black decks. Alone, Reap does not really seem to be that great. Keep

General Jarkeld from Ice Age is one of the earliest single colored legendary creatures in Magic the Gathering. Prior to this, legendary creatures were generally multicolored for flavor reasons. This rare 1/2 Human Soldier breaks that tradition and paved the way for the newer single colored legends of today. Yet, how does it fare against

Ah yes… It’s the classic Stone Rain. This common red sorcery is the defining card for red’s land destruction theme if only because it is so ubiquitous. In fact, it has been with Magic the Gathering in every core set from Alpha all the way to the Ninth Edition. Various other sets such as Ice

“Ruby Medallion” is a colorless artifact printed as a rare for the Magic the Gathering expansion set known as “Tempest.” So far, Ruby Medallion happens to be a red deck’s best friend. As long as you are playing a bunch of red spells, then Ruby Medallion is pretty helpful. Alone, Ruby Medallion is a pretty

Anarchy is absolutely deadly against white decks. This rare sorcery from Ice Age has the singular effect of destroying all white permanents. It is very much worth the two colorless mana and two red mana that you spend as its casting cost. The power of this card in limited is situational though. You’ll only want

Gravity Crash is a game advertised as being Old School Graphics with New School Game Play. Such is not really the case. It is an Old School Idea with Old School Graphics, and a Top Notch Graphics Engine. So, while it does not deliver quite as advertised, it is a close approximation. Game Play The

“Reflecting Pool” is a non-basic land card originally printed as a rare for the Magic the Gathering expansion set known as “Tempest.” It would then be reprinted as a rare for the Magic the Gathering expansion set known as “Shadowmoor.” This is perhaps one of the best non-basic land cards ever. In the right deck,

I was initially very skeptical about this game but I became amazed by how addictive Gravity Core actually is. If you compare the game play with a number of other games within the genre you’ll see that it is surprisingly refreshing. Players can’t just sail through the game and only apply a little boost here

Gravity Well is a uncommon green enchantment from the rise of the Eldrazi expansion set of magic the gathering. It costs two green mana and one colorless mana to put Gravity Well onto the battlefield and it reads “Whenever a creature with flying attacks it loses flying until the end of the turn.” Green and
